[QUOTE="pruman91, post: 1612665, member: 3916"] This season, for me, was a life saver as far as bringing me so much joy in the face of a cultural changing pandemic affecting our everyday life , limiting my contact with people I love and friends , in general. My dad is 92 and in a nursing home 200 miles away...my mom is 90 and living in an assisted living facility in the same town as my dad....Quarantined and isolated from them both, the Fighting Illini BB program and this site brought me a sense of connection that really stabilized my life in a way that quelled in me what could have been frightening loneliness and a feeling of disconnect from society and it's normal interactions... I really want to thank the staff and coach and all my friends here for an "AMAZING " season full of excitement and now ultimate heartbreak...but , as stated above, we have so much to be thankful for....And with the , hopefully, end of the virus and it's effects on all of us , I look forward to a new awakening of the Illini FB team and the continued success of the BB team.... I finally have great hope and excitement for all things Illini and a return to daily living free of worry about 6' apart and everything else connected to this virus... 2020-21 will go down in my memory banks full of joy and sorrow, but I'm still alive and kicking, at age 69, and I fully intend to being here on earth and enjoying the illini and Loyalty for many, many more years..... thanks again bros..................
